Long journey to Disneyland Paris
It was a long journey down to Dover and I only got a couple of hours sleep on the bus. We were all shattered by the time we got on the ferry but most of us got a couple more hours of sleep on the way to Paris. The last two days have been eventful (to put it discreetly), and we have had a great time but none of the teachers have fully caught up on our sleep. When we arrived at the hotel yesterday - which is even nicer than I remembered - we checked in and got the shuttle bus to Disneyland Paris at about 6 p.m.; approximately 24 hours after our journey had begun! We were then at the park for a mind-blowing six hours because we stayed for the Disney Dreams (I think it was called) son et lumiere, and fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom's castle. It was absolutely spectacular; lots of Disney characters were projected onto the castle and the special effects were great. Then we had to queue for ages until we could get a shuttle bus back to the hotel; by the time we had settled the pupils I stumbled into bed at 2 a.m. this morning! Then we all got up at 7 a.m. for another day at Disney. I felt surprising good and we had a great time, punctuated by minor pupil emergencies. Numbed by tiredness I found myself to be much more brave than usual and went on both the "Tower of Terror" (sudden stomach lurching drops) and "Aerosmith" (loud music and looping the loop several times). And now are back at the hotel where some pupils are swimming, others are playing snooker or having tea, and the staff are patrolling and chatting.
